Okay, good that you took care of the defaults, but having a queue per
CPU thread is quite inefficient. Most sensible users will reconfigure
your NICs and remap IRQs and XPS. Which is fine, but we need to give
them the necessary info to do this right - documentation and preferably
the PCIe dev mapping in the new netlink queue API.
